after Tanabata Festival...

 după

Festivalul Tanabata...

și totuși umbrela mea 

o-ntâlnește pe-a ta

la ușa taxiului

after

Tanabata Festival...

and yet my umbrella 

meets your umbrella

in front of the taxi door

après

la fête de Tanabata...

et pourtant mon parapluie

rencontre le tien

sur la portière du taxi

hoshimatsuri

ato

soredemo watashi no kasa wa 

takushī no doa de

anata no kasa to deau

星祭り

後

それでも私の傘は

タクシーのドアで

あなたの傘と出会う
